Tesla has been in the headlines a lot lately and mostly not in a good way. But a new survey says Tesla absolutely crushes all other car companies when it comes to this one thing.
Those customer loyalty numbers are very impressive and it is surprising that Honda, a brand synonymous with reliability and durability, comes in at number five.
Depending on what part of Los Angeles you're driving in, it seems that half the cars on the road are Teslas. For those interested in the Cybertruck, it's been discovered the body builds up rust quickly in rainy weather.
I'm hopeful my current car will last several more years, but a move to electric seems inevitable. I expect the EV landscape to be broader then, and it will be interesting to see if Tesla is still king.
I have to admit I do enjoy driving my Tesla. But for me, it really comes down to economics and convenience more than anything else. I've spent far less money on maintenance on my Tesla in the five years I've owned it than I spent in one year on any of the gasoline powered vehicles I've ever owned. I've also spent far less money to fuel it in the five years I've owned it than I spent in one year on any of the gasoline powered cars I ever owned. But the fact that I know I won't get stranded somewhere without a place to charge or have to wait hours in a line to charge my car (if I can even find a place to charge it away from home) makes Tesla the best EV option for me by far.
I totally understand. Elon Musk has not done his company any favors. I just wish other EV manufacturers offered the same superior technology and supercharging options that Tesla does. Since I've vowed to never drive another gasoline powered vehicle again, I'd love to consider other EV options. Problem is, no other car manufacturer has shown any inclination to invest the necessary money or resources to seriously challenge Tesla and it's vastly superior supercharging network. I think that's the real shame here since we desperately need more alternatives to environmentally damaging gasoline powered vehicles. While I'm committed to driving an EV, I'm not committed to the anxiety and stress that comes with not being able to find a place to plug in when you need to. With Tesla, that's almost never an issue.

I'm not in the market for a car at this time, but I react to Tesla the same as I do Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A — they're all a "no-fly zone" for me 😊

Yep, there should definitely be more EV competition.
